Schools Best Universities for PhD in Fluid Mechanics

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on seeking recommendations for top universities in Europe and the US that excel in fluid mechanics research for pursuing a PhD. The individual is currently studying at TU Delft, known for its strong fluid mechanics program, but is interested in exploring other institutions. They have identified several prestigious universities, including Harvard, ETH Zurich, Stanford, UMD College Park, Caltech, UC Berkeley, Cornell, and Carnegie Mellon, noted for their research in fluid mechanics. The inquiry specifically seeks insights into the areas of focus within fluid mechanics at these institutions, such as experimental methods or computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and invites suggestions for any additional universities with strong research programs in this field.

Hi,

I am currently doing my masters in mech engineering specializing in fluid mechanics. I am interested in pursuing PhD after my masters. Can anyone suggest the universities which do the best research in fluid mechanics in Europe and US?

What do your advisors say? Start with them, at least.
 
I am not sure. I haven't asked them. I am currently doing my masters at TU Delft. It is really good for fluid Mechanics. But I would like to try other universities too for PhD. According to my research online, I have found Harvard, ETHZ, Stanford, UMD College Park, Caltech, Univ of California Berkeley, Cornell and CMU doing very good research in Fluid Mechanics. However, I want to know specific fields in fluid Mech they are really doing good research like experimental or CFD. I need your advice. Or if i am missing out any university which does really good research, let me know. Thank you.
 
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
